Sushi and Champagne Fashion Show

Okay...this was what I decided to wear. Did you know that we had a bitterly cold and windy evening? So I was covered up in a coat all evening long.

I tried everything to download photos taken by the Media to no avail...so go here and you will see a lot of pics of the event.(See Stefanie, you will have your show and tell after all) You will also see a pic of me and Fatima (our PRO) if you look closely, directly after the Chinese young ladies (in yellow).

It was a lovely evening, despite the cold. It was the first time I tried sushi (DH is allergic to sea food) and sorry, Shayne and Meriel, but give me a steak any day.

The Miss World contestants are beautiful, thin and SO young. They wear the highest heels I have ever seen. I would fall on my face after two steps if I ever tried to balance on those things.

Now for the good news. The amount raised from ticket sales were substantial and when the cheque was handed over, Mrs Julia Morley, the director of the Miss World contest tripled the amount. The money is earmarked for the education of the children of the mission and we feel blessed and deeply thankful.

I too am a red meat girl...not wild on fish nor sushi.You looked fabulous, pity no-one else could see the dress being wrapped up against the cold the way you must have been.Awesome that you got so much money in for the children.Blessed indeed!

Yes, I don't know where this sudden cold spell is coming from, we are all wearing jackets again here in Gauteng as well. Wow you look radiant in that dress. The colour really suits you and one would never tell that you were not actually one of the Miss World contestants! Glad it was a huge success.HugsDesire

Well Lynette, after checking out the gallery, I have to tell you that you can hold your own at ANY event. Sure, the girls are young and beautiful but they have yet to add the maturity that you offer. Not taking away from the contestants, their time will come.Congratulations on being the beneficiary of the Fashion Show. I am sure it will go a long way in the work you do. Cheers, Irene

About Me

This is my little place in cyber space. The place where I can voice my opinions and bare my soul...a place where I document the things that happen in my life that I don't ever want to forget. The place where I share my love for my darling husband, children and grandchildren. The place where I am free to share my love for my Lord and Saviour. The place where I showcase my scrapbook projects. The place that will document my life and those whom I love in the thousands of pictures that I take.
